77amurai 258 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Great news if true. Sad the paper mentions disability more than necessary. ..Whats the big deal?It's inspirational stuff, why not mention it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AljayBoy 2,324 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Always good to hear of people wanting to invest in our club, and he claims to be a fan too.The guy worked hard to get where he is despite his disability, and he'll need that determination if he has to deal with even half the stuff that's been going on in the boardroom in recent timesNothing here but good news.

scotty1976 1,671 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Great news if true. Sad the paper mentions disability more than necessary. ..Whats the big deal?True. But not as reckless as the BBC website gossip column. Despite there being no focus on this in the Record's article above, it's link to the story leads on the fact that Prior is from an 'Irish-Catholic background'. Reckless journalism trying to discredit a potential investor in the eyes of the support. They obviously don't realise that the majority of fans have moved on from worrying about this type of thing. I personally only care if the investor has the right motives for investing and the good of the club is a priority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian 4,281 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 He is buying into a second div club which is just out of admin, has a split board, a struggling manager, divided fanbase and is under siege by the SFAAnd they say this guy is smart ?

Johnny Hubbard 280 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I agree.Made for fascinating reading.I want to know if it's his money or Goldman Sachs cash he's spending though?he says it's 100% his own money Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 he says it's 100% his own moneyNext question, he is a man who makes money for a living. Is he doing this because he knows our shre price will rise, or is he doing it for the love of the game?I can't see him having enough money to be able to run a football club of our size. As long as he isn't wanting dividends on his shares, I have no problem with him doing this to make money. Really not liking all these money makers appearing all of a sudden. It's making me feel uneasy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I must say im not sure what to make of this, Mr Prior is obviously a pretty smart and tough guy to have made his money in the cut throat world of high finance despite his disability but is he the right man for Rangers? I would hope so and at least unlike Shyte who also came out of the blue this guy seems to have some pretty decent references. I just hope he understands how supporters view businessmen right now but as a ex banker I'm sure he knows how to deal with suspicion and distrust Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

16BlueSherbert90 19,253 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hmmm...think I will pass comment IF anything comes of this. Not really a fan of jumping on the mhedia bandwagon. It is usually just sensationalist hype from poor journalists.Saying that, Mystic Meg used to be a good read in my younger years Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colne Claret 1 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 who then is selling a block of shares ?He's supposedly investing 600k. Being 1% of shares, this would suggest a market cap of 60 million. The current market cap is about 35 million. I would guess it is a sale by someone who bought the shares for buttons. Narrows down the suspect list because even people like Hargreave Hale paid full price for their shares. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
